Praise
“Kracauer’s mordant satire has the caustic power of Celine but is less coarse and choleric. Sharp criticisms of patriotism, cronyism, and the war itself are tempered by the fanciful observations of a character who has the eye of a visual artist… The result is a tour de force of language enriched by gallows humor.” —Publishers Weekly Starred Review
“Ginster’s name belongs with modern literature’s antiwar activists from the Good Soldier Švejk to Yossarian.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The reissue of this novel now is valuable, beyond its considerable historical and aesthetic virtues, because it makes pertinent points about today’s world, bedeviled by war, misery, poverty, and the enticing lure of despotism as an answer to democracy’s shortcomings.” —Thomas Filbin, The Arts Fuse
